Voltage safety

[john_sheu]

I just got my Barton XP2800+ system yesterday and I've already voided the warrantee....

So how high does the voltage go before physical damage occurs? I'm at 1.8V right now and scared....

Depends what motherboard you have, so what do you have?

I hate Computers! My P4 2.4C won't go above 3840mhz. My Sapphire 9800pro core/mem speed won't go above 490/790. I really hate computers!

Abit NF7-S
(BTW I'm at 195 FSB x 12.0)

 

[scottchen]

oh yeah forgot to ask what's your cooling and what's your temperature at?

Water-cooled, a good 36-36 Celsius.

Hmm....how come we never see Fahrenheit around these boards?
Maybe we're just smarter....

 

[john_sheu]

Well, I've been under the impression that running CPU's out of spec voids the warrantee

Well, it sort of does void ur warranty. But as long as u keep ur CPU cool u dont have to worry.

With decent watercooling don't be afraid to push the vcore to 2.1 a friend of mine used the SLK900U on the epox 8rda+ and he still pushed his vcore to 2.1 without much trouble.

[john_sheu]

The question is long-term performance...

 

[scottchen]

long term performance then nothing past 1.80

I shoved 2.15 volts through my 2100 to get 2350mhz lol. It stayed under 60C aswell...
